"A small-town drama that turns the Salem witchcraft trials into a tenuous metaphor for the intense pressures brought to bear on today’s female youth... the strongest assets here are the young actors: Cuthrell is an affecting standout as the gloomy Catherine." -Variety

"The Sisterhood of Night is so unusually moving and penetrating because it refuses to cloud its emotions in distancing irony, anger, or nihilism. The film has a cleansing sense of earnestness that parallels the sisterhood's yearning for acceptance and connection." -Slant Magazine

"In a sea of one-note symphonies, this touching feature is bleak and comic, heartbreaking and affirmative, romantic and tragic, gimlet-eyed and sympathetic, all at the same time." -LA Times

"Jesus' Son surprises me with moments of wry humor, poignancy, sorrow and wildness. It has a sequence as funny as I've seen this year, and as harrowing, and it ends in a bittersweet minor key." -Roger Ebert

"Mr. Crudup plays a lost, irresponsible and stupid young man with discipline and intelligence, using every muscle in his face to suggest the unreachable emotion and the accidental goodness of his character. His F.H. is authentically creepy and unexpectedly charming. If you saw him on the street, you wouldn't know whether to cross to the other side, give him a quarter or take him home with you." -NY Times

"Explicitly about the interface of what has been and what is now, Shoppers also takes as a given the collision of everyday bullshit with flashpoints of cruelty and catastrophe." -Village Voice

"What You Will makes Shakespeare as familiar as breathing, which is yet another beguiling aspect to Rees' delightful show." -San Francisco Chronicle

"You couldn't ask for a more charming host through the world of Shakespeare and the theater. Rees is not only a brilliant actor but also a warm, wonderful human being (or at least plays one convincingly on stage)." -San Francisco Examiner
